Acoustic music lovers will have the opportunity to hear Italian guitarist, composer and singer-songwriter Luca Burgalassi in an evening performance Wednesday (June 20) as part of the Hampton History Museum’s music series.

Burgalassi, who only moved to the United States with his family two years ago, has made a name for himself in the local music scene and has connected with audiences in Hampton Roads, offering them a distinct sound and style. That distinction came from growing up near Tuscany, Italy, with a mother who exposed him to not only Italian music but American music as well — particularly gospel and jazz.
